THE farmer who is observant derives
benefit from his experience as well as
profit from his work One difficulty with
farmers is that they do not refer suf1i-
GENTLY to their experience and are too
apt to seek the opinions of others who are
given to theorizing, or else do things as
they have been done without inquiring
whether there is a better way. At the
Farmers Institute in Sheboygan last week
a farmer Of chat county read thoughtful
paper on shallow blowing. He argued
that on his farm better results were Sc
cured from shallow blowing than from
deep blowing. He did not attempt to
give reasons but stated what he knew to
be facts The tendency of late years has
been toward sub-soiling. But are farm
ers satisfied that better results come from
deep than from shallow blowing?
There certainly can be many arguments
used in opposition to deep blowing
Roots of crops generally work down with
the soil which has not been disturbed by
the pillow. The question is, must the soil
be pulverized in order that the food which
it gives the plant may be properly absorb
ed? Farmers could easily determine this
fact by carefully observing results. 1t
may be that in time the sub-soil pillow
will be regarded as an unmixed evil.

proposition to put in waterworks at this

route from St. Paul and Minneapolis to
the Atlantic sea board. The line is to

That city has had a boom through the
enterprise of the road it now has running
to ST. Paul The large elevators built
there by the road from which grain is
shipped direct to eastern markets, have
proved fine thing for Green Bay. The
fates seem to be opposed to Manitowoc,
otherwise it might be well to call the at

of our city as lake outlet. 1t is not far
south of the straits and has harbOr

might look long and then make a proper
selection.
